Who is brightobject?

Art student, high schooler. Amateur artist, but I really wanna go professional. I don't know too much about competitive Pokémon, but I still love this site. :) I draw a lot of inspiration from the likes of shounen and Spectacle Fighters, and I enjoy character design. That is to say, I hate drawing backgrounds.

Smogon Biography

  • Used to go by hiddenpowerice
  • Started as a tryhard poster in Firebot (and I still am!).
  • Been an official contributor since some arbitrary date I can't remember. I did some of my first artwork here for MAC, though.
  • Did some work here and there for The Smog and The Player and drew cover art for each before they merged. Did an Arterview, and I still do work for the Article Workshop.
  • Started an art thread a while back. It's still running.
  • Entered some MACs along the way taking first in Monthly Art Contest #30: Pokémon Makeover.
  • I manage the unofficial Smeargle News Twitter with Arhops.
  • Just started managing the newly revived MAC with Tikitik.
  • Oh yeah; I'm an Approved Artist and a proud holder of the Artist Badge as well.

Art preferences

I love dry mediums (and, in a broader sense, prefer traditional over digital)—everything from pencils, pens, ink, pastels, and colored pencils to chalks, artists' crayons, and collage—all of that is right up my alley!

The main drawing program I use is Photoshop. Of course, when I'm doing trad work I don't; for that stuff I prefer dry mediums (as I mentioned earlier).

My tablet is a Cintiq Companion. It's a cranky little bugger and we usually don't get along, but it's a tough old bird and I love it nonetheless.
